John,

Before you run out and buy a new laptop or install a new operating 
system, may I humbly suggest you give the laptop to somebody who knows 
computers well and let him tweak it for ya.  It could just be that the 
graphics card drivers aren't installed...who knows?  Maybe there's too 
many of those "free trial" programs that seem to ship with every 
computer these days running and hogging the computer's memory.... Just a 
suggestion to keep you from having to learn a new OS or buy another machine.
